Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 53: Half Destiny for Cultivation and Half Destiny for You

"I dare not. All the Virgin Mary's disciples have escaped. I came back to wake her up." Wuzhan said calmly.

Xiao Yuzhen looked around and was about to sit up, but suddenly she cried out "ouch!" She quickly covered her left shoulder with her right hand and leaned on the horse's belly again. Sweat immediately flowed down her cheeks. She endured the severe pain in her back and left shoulder and said to Wuzhan, "You little bastard, help me up!"

Wuzhan stepped forward and gently helped Xiao Yuzhen up. After Xiao Yuzhen sat up, she asked, "Where is the beast?"

Wuzhan pointed to the distance and said, "After going to the bathroom over there, he left." Wuzhan really couldn't explain this unexpected experience.

Xiao Yuzhen glared at Wuzhan and asked, "Are you joking with me?"

"If you don't believe me, I can take the Virgin Mary to check it out, but the stench is unbearable. I advise the Virgin Mary not to go."

Xiao Yuzhen chuckled, "You sound so serious, it seems like that's the case, but how is that possible? It came all the way here, driving away thousands of monsters, and almost swallowed us all, just to take a shit here?"

"A caged bird longs for its old forest, a fish in a pond longs for its old home, fallen leaves return to their roots, wild geese fly south. Perhaps this beast has such a habit, and we may be standing in its pit."

Xiao Yuzhen covered her chest, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make me laugh. In my opinion, your cultivation is all in your mouth. No wonder Qingyang said you are cunning." Without further questioning, she took out a small bronze tube from her sleeve, pressed the trigger, and a beam of light came out, a long cry was heard, and it exploded in the air. She wanted to recall the escaped disciples.

After the signal was sent, Xiao Yuzhen didn't say anything. After taking a pill, she sat quietly on the ground and practiced internal energy to heal her wounds. Wuzhan didn't disturb her either. He sat down not far away and picked up a small jade bottle dropped by a disciple of Cangshan. This was the bottle they used to collect venom. Seeing that there was nothing inside, he opened the bottle cap and didn't smell any strange smell. Wuzhan took the bottle and played with it in his hand. While Xiao Yuzhen wasn't paying attention, he took the blood flowing from the saber-toothed tiger beside him and put it in his arms.

After an incense stick of time passed, more than a dozen disciples of Cangshan rushed back from one side. Seeing Xiao Yuzhen injured, they thought that she had fought off the ferocious beast, so they hurried forward to ask about her injuries and began to take care of her.

Qin Moyao was also among them. When she was fleeing in panic, she was taken away and separated from Wuzhan. The Earth-Devouring Beast chased in another direction. She didn't know whether Wuzhan was in that direction, where he was taken, whether he was safe, or whether he could escape. She was taken very far away and never saw Wuzhan. There were many disciples around her, and she didn't find a suitable opportunity to escape. More importantly, she was worried about Wuzhan. After hearing the signal, she was brought back. She was relieved to see Wuzhan was safe. She glanced at him and didn't look again. What surprised her was that Xiao Yuzhen was seriously injured. She carefully observed Xiao Yuzhen's expression to check the severity of the injury.

Not long after, more than a dozen disciples came back one after another. Ah Zhu, Ah Xue and five others came back last. After hearing the signal, they knew that their master was not dead. They were worried that if they left Wuzhan behind and escaped, Xiao Yuzhen would kill them. They hesitated for a long time, but finally realized that if their master wanted to kill them, it would be the same no matter where they ran to, it was only a matter of time. So they returned with the determination to die. When they saw that Wuzhan was fine, they were so excited that they almost shed tears, as if they were reborn.

This encounter caused Xiao Yuzhen to lose more than ten disciples, and many of the remaining disciples were also seriously injured. After Xiao Yuzhen finished his healing, two hours had passed and his complexion returned to normal. He stood up on his own without the support of his disciples and ordered his disciples to continue on their way. The half body of the Earth-Devouring Beast that he passed by had turned into a pool of green liquid. It was just as Wuzhan said, extremely smelly, like feces.

The team moved at a relatively slow pace. After climbing over two mountains, the setting sun burned the western sky blood red. They were just approaching a huge cave with a hot spring flowing out. Xiao Yuzhen ordered his disciples to enter the cave and spend the night.

As you walk into the cave, the space gradually opens up, with stalactites of strange shapes everywhere, and glowing crystals embedded in the stone walls, making the cave look like a starry sky, magnificent and gorgeous. Hot springs flow silently under the stone walls, sparkling and emitting light hot air.

Not long after walking, they found a space that was as big as more than ten houses. The ground in this space was flat and not very humid. Xiao Yuzhen ordered his disciples to rest there, while he continued to walk inside along the spring alone, looking for another place to practice internal energy to heal his wounds.

After eating some dry food, they only tied up Qin Moyao's hands and feet. As for Wuzhan, the disciples of Cangshan had completely regarded him as one of their own and ignored him. After experiencing this day, they were all frightened and exhausted. When they encountered such a comfortable environment, they leaned against the stone wall and soon fell asleep.

……

When all the disciples fell asleep, Wuzhan summoned out the dagger that he had secretly hidden in the Qiankun Jade during the day. He turned around and quietly picked at the crystal on the stone wall behind him. The rock layer was not very hard. In a short while, he picked off a crystal the size of a fingernail. After putting it in his arms, he moved his body slightly and continued to pick up the next one.

Qin Moyao was leaning against the stone wall and dozing off. Although the light was dim, she saw everything Wuzhan did. Due to the distance between them, it was inconvenient for her to ask him, but she had vaguely guessed that Wuzhan did this to help her escape from here. She just didn't know what incredible plan he would implement. "He is always so mysterious and so calm. It makes people panic and feel sorry. It would be great if he could live longer." Thinking about it and watching, her heart was pounding. She didn't know whether she was worried about Wuzhan's behavior or herself.

After a long time, Wuzhan finally picked out four crystals, walked gently to the spring, took out a small jade bottle, dripped the saber-toothed tiger's blood on the crystals, formed a seal with one hand, closed his eyes slightly, and silently recited a formula. After a moment, the four crystals in his palms suddenly emitted a faint red light, like a bright fire.

The four crystals slowly rose up in Wuzhan's hands, rotated in a square shape, and fell into the spring water. As soon as they entered the water, there was a "puff" sound, and mist spread out. The mist became heavier and heavier, and in an instant it covered the entire space, causing the original light in the cave to disappear and plunge into darkness.

Qin Moyao had been paying attention to Wuzhan. When the mist rose, Wuzhan's figure gradually became blurred in the mist and finally disappeared. Her heart suddenly tightened, "Did he abandon me and run away alone?" She looked carefully but could not find the figure. In a hurry, she stood up and looked for the place where Wuzhan disappeared. The scene in front of her was hazy and she could not see anything clearly. She stopped and stared around, "This looks very much like Changyang Mountain. How did I return here again?" She found that her hands and feet were no longer tied with ropes and could move freely. "Have I been dreaming? I am still in the mist, but why are the things that happened in the dream so real?" Stepping on the soft grass, bright flowers can be seen everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. "Where is he, does he know that she is in my dream?"

A gust of wind blew by, and a familiar figure quietly passed by her from behind, and walked in front of her, leaving behind a wind-like back. She wanted to call him and walk side by side with him, but it was inappropriate, because it was just a dream of hers, and she felt a little lost. When she looked up again, the figure had gone far away, so she hurriedly quickened her pace to chase after him. The figure was getting faster and faster, and Qin Moyao had to mobilize her true energy to perform Qinggong to catch up, thinking: "It turns out that his cultivation is not weak, and his life is not in danger." Instead, she felt relieved.

The figure actually floated into the air. Qin Moyao was anxious and thought, "How did he fly? Is he a god?" He couldn't help but shout, "Wait for me!"

The figure turned around and revealed a charming smile that had never been seen before, "Let me hold you, otherwise you will miss the ascension!" Floating in the air, he stretched out his hand, his clothes fluttering.

Qin Moyao smiled sweetly, her heart beating like a tide. She was about to run towards that charming smile when a figure floated up beside her. She had never seen such a beautiful figure, pure as ice and jade, with colorful clothes fluttering in the wind, which made her feel ashamed. The figure embraced her in his arms in the air, just like a couple of gods.

Qin Moyao felt as if she was falling into an abyss, her heart was like shattered ice, "It turns out that I was just wishful thinking, he already has someone in his heart!" Unable to stop the tears from flowing out, she saw the two of them drifting away, feeling unwilling, she reached out to grab them, and cried out tenderly, "Wu Zhan, take me away!"

Tears and blood had already blended together in the corners of her eyes. Qin Moyao slowly opened her eyes and found Wuzhan standing in front of her. Her left hand was holding a jade bottle tightly, and the tip of her right index finger was stained with blood, which was smearing on the corners of her eyes. It turned out to be a dream.

"Apply it, then you can see clearly here and walk out." Wuzhan saw Qin Moyao wake up and spoke softly.

Qin Moyao was in a trance for a long time, then she retracted her jade finger and asked softly, "Is this the maze you set up?"

"Well! This formation may be able to trap them for a day or two, and then you can leave these hundred thousand mountains."

"I'll go in and kill her!"

"She may not be trapped. If you go and wake her up, you won't have a chance to escape."

"Won't you run away with me?" she asked softly, her eyes flickering.

Wuzhan continued to smear the blood drops on the corners of Qin Moyao's charming eyes, and said calmly: "Where can I escape to? Many people will look for me. In her hands, with her protection, I don't have to walk, and I have food and drink. Where else can I find such a good thing?"

"Although she is nice to you now, she will eventually kill you if you don't hand over the spell. Come with me!" Qin Moyao held Wuzhan's hand again and persuaded him.

Warmth surged into Wuzhe's heart. The blood-stained face under the soft light looked even more beautiful. He stared at her hesitantly for a moment, then with trembling fingers he put the last dot between her brows. "What she wants is the method of immortality. How can we verify the authenticity of that method?"

After hearing this, Qin Moyao smiled charmingly and said, "Then you have been deceiving her for her whole life." She changed her mind and thought that if so, Xiao Yuzhen would certainly not let Wuzhe go, and he would have to be imprisoned in Cangshan by her. It would be difficult for her to see him. She also thought that his weak body and she didn't know when he would leave. Perhaps this separation would separate the two lives. She felt inexplicably lost in her heart and slowly let go of her hand.

Wuzhan said calmly: "Okay, you can go now."

"Will we meet again?" I couldn't help but ask.

……

Wuzhan was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If we don't say goodbye, how can we meet again? Let's go!"

Qin Moyao slowly stood up and met him. They always spoke briefly in a hurry. She knew Wuzhan would not go with her, and it was useless to hesitate any longer. She stared and clasped her fists and said, "Thank you for saving me!"

Wuzhan handed her a dagger and said, "Take this, you can protect yourself on the road."

Qin Moyao took the dagger and hid it in her sleeve. She couldn't help but take another closer look at Wuzhan, "Goodbye!" She suddenly turned around, floated towards the direction of the cave entrance, and disappeared into the mist.
